The True Heiress's Return novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69
Fiona, as if hearing some kind of absurd tale, grabbed Shakira who was trying to touch Walter. “What? What nonsense are you spouting. Such a lowly maid can never do this.”
“I was able to ensure Walter’s safety last time, while you were helpless beyond giving painkillers!”
After saying this, Shakira twisted her wrist and effortlessly handcuffed Fiona’s hands behind her back. Then with a skillful push, she sent Fiona crashing face-first onto the floor.
Fiona was shocked and turned her head to look at Shakira, the woman who had just acted against her, standing bedside and looking down at her with superiority.
Fiona was so angry that she clenched her fists, with her eyes bursting with boundless jealousy and hatred. “Shakira, if Walter doesn’t get better, I’ll let you die for it!” said she.
Ignoring her, Shakira signaled to Brian to help her position Walter correctly, and pulled out the needles and began acupuncture without hesitation.
But the pain had lasted too long, Walter’s muscles were tightly wound, and the silver needles couldn’t be fully inserted. “Walter, relax.” Shakira placed her palm on Walter’s forehead and softly repeated by his ear, “Relax, it will be over soon.”
Fiona had gotten up and was standing by the bed and staring at Shakira’s actions hatefully.
How could Walter possibly listen to her nonsense!’ thought she.
In his semi-conscious state, Walter faintly heard Shakira’s voice,
He struggled to open his sweat-blurred eyes to look at Shakira again. He heard what she said to him clearly, and Walter tried his best to control his shivering muscles, exhaling a long breath.
Seeing that he was cooperating with her, Shakira acted decisively and swiftly inserted the silver needles into several key acupoints on Walter’s legs.
Everyone held their breath, and after a minute, Walter’s trembling gradually slowed down…
Brian was delighted and looked up at Shakira. “Ms. Nelson, Mr. Lopezopez is no longer trembling.”
Levi shed tears of excitement and said, “Mr. Lopezopez, does it hurt now?”
Shakira didn’t let up but continued to insert silver needles into other minor acupoints.

“I’ve helped ease some of his pain for now, but it will take time to fully get through this.” Shakira glanced back at them, “Everyone who’s not needed should get out of here.”
“Sure, sure.” Levi was very excited, “Thank God, it’s a blessing that the god sent Ms. Nelson to Mr. Lopez. That’s the only reason he’s getting through this. I’ll go to offer incense to the ancestors!”
Levi called out, ushering Fiona and several doctors out of the master bedroom and asked them to rest in the living room downstairs.
Fiona was filled with jealousy. But seeing Walter’s breathing gradually becoming calm, no matter how reluctant she was, she had to turn and leave.
After Levi left the living room, Fiona turned around and slapped the doctor across the face. “Such administer a pain shot properly!”

The doctor, holding his face, was on the verge of tears. “Ms. Banks, we double-checked that medicine, there’s no way it could be wrong, the only possibility is…”
Fiona’s eyes widened and said, “What is it?”
“As we’ve mentioned before, due to the excessive use of the drug, Mr. Lopezopez might have developed a resistance to the painkiller, and that’s why it’s not working. We should have increased the dosage and given him a few more shots…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Fiona lashed out with two more slaps. She let all her frustrations she got from Shakira goes to the doctor.
“Those needles are so poisonous, significantly.
“ould you inject so many into Walter!” Her gaze was as ruthless and her voice dropped
“If it’s discovered that there’s addictive substances in the painkillers, you won’t even know how you’ll die!” said she.
The doctor was shocked and weakened in the knees, collapsing onto the ground.
It was Fiona who had forced them to research drugs for Mr. Lopez. At that time, they were out of options. Because no matter how skilled they were, they were helpless against Mr. Lopez’s illness.
But Fiona stiggested that they increase the dosage of addictive anesthesia in the painkillers, and they had no other choice but to give it a try.
They never thought it could actually reduce the pain Mr. Lopez experienced temporarily during his episodes.
They dared not speak the truth, as Fiona forced them to keep it a secret, even offering generous rewards to silence them.
Moreover, leveraging Mr. Lopez’s influence, their reputation and prestige had risen to several levels in the past half year, which is incomparable to their past status.
If this were to be exposed now, they would all be in deep trouble, and it would be impossible to continue in this profession!
With her arms crossed, Fiona turned her face away, still as mean as ever, “A bunch of useless idiots, you guys are not even comparable to a maid!”
The doctor felt very wronged. He thought carefully for a moment, then suddenly realized something, “Matthew, it’s Matthew!”
“Who is Matthew?” asked Fiona.
The doctor was excited and said, “When I was young, I had the honor of attending a public lecture by the foremost traditional medicine practitioner, Matthew. That maid’s acupuncture technique is almost identical to Matthew’s!”.
Hearing this, Fiona sneered coldly. “You compare a maid to Matthew? I think you’ve lost your mind.”
“No, it’s really the same. I only attended Matthew’s class once, but I can remember it for a lifetime!” the doctor was quite sure about it, “Moreover, Mr. Lopez’s leg has been treated by many famous doctors, but none could cure it completely. Perhaps only Matthew might have a chance to try…”
Seeing his attitude, Fiona had some doubts. “Are you saying Matthew can cure Walter’s illness?”
“There’s a 70-80% chance, but Matthew retired from Clusia Hospital a few years ago and went traveling around the world. He’s completely out of touch, and finding him might be harder than catching the wind…”
“It’s impossible, Walter’s leg will definitely get better!” Fiona’s face was filled with determination, “What could Shakira do? Matthew, right? I will definitely find him out!”

The master bedroom
Walter had gradually calmed down. He’s so weak and drained that he fell into a deep sleep.
Brian looked at Shakira with gratitude. “Thank you, Ms. Nelson
“I promised him anyway,
It’s go and rest, Brian.”

Brian looked at Walter and said, “But Mr. Lopez…”
“I’ll stay and watch over him, it’s okay,” replied Shakira.
Brian thought for a moment. “Then I’ll leave him in your hands, Ms. Nelson.”

Brian took one last worried look at Walter before finally leaving the bedroom, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
Shakira let out a breath and wiped her face instinctively, only to find her hand covered in sweat.She had been so focused that her own body was damp with cold sweat.
Shakira checked on Walter to make sure he wouldn’t wake up suddenly, then got up and went into the bathroom.
“This guy, doesn’t he even have an extra towel?” Shakira searched everywhere but couldn’t find a new towel.
In the end, after hesitating for a few seconds, she pulled down the dark blue towel. Her body was sticky with sweat, so she wiped herself off and threw the towel away, planning to ask Levi to get Walter a new one tomorrow.
As she was thinking, she put the clean towel inside her clothes to wipe her chest, and then heard a voice coming from outside.
“Shakira…” said Walter.
